Living in San Luis Potosi Mexico!

I'm friends with Marc and Paulette. We met online when I lived in Guadalajara. I was a subscriber to their channel The second time that I moved to Mexico I lived in San Louis Potosi where they helped me find a place to live. Through them, I met some lifelong friends (including them). We all had a blast together. there were six of us Americans who went out for breakfast every week. I will always remember my months in SLP with great fondness. Although I have been in SE Asia for over 2 years, if I ever move back to Mexico, it will be to SLP.

Really great interview. We knew Marc and Paulette before we decided to retire and come to Mexico. They introduced us to San Luis Potosí. We loved the area and purchased a apartment there. Through their friendship and knowledge we found a great home and had wonderful experiences.

I loved this interview. I follow both mx relocation guide and two travellers in Mexico. I am a permanent resident now, but have yet to make the permanent move. The experience of Marc and Paulette actually immersing into the culture full time was invaluable. Thank you so much

I’ve been watching Marc and Paulette on YouTube for a few years. I’ve always enjoyed their informative and often entertaining videos. When I visited SLP in early 2021, I sent them a message on either YouTube or Facebook, not thinking for a minute they would answer me. Imagine my surprise when they wanted to meet! We ended up having dinner a couple times during my vacation and they even asked me to do a video! We’ve stayed in touch since then and I even visited them on another trip when I visited Leon. I hope to meet up with them again soon. Their videos are great because they are REAL. They share their own experiences and show what it’s been like for them, moving to, adjusting to, exploring, and embracing Mexico. So great to see them on your channel!

Marc and Paulette are the best and what a great video this is. I've been following them on YouTube and FB for about 4 years. So glad to see you did this video with the Mexico Relocation Guide as I recommended you to Mariana!

Marc and Paulette (aka The Two Travelers in Mexico) have shared so much valuable and useful information about Mexico with the world via their Youtube channel and it is so wonderful to see them here @ Mexico Relocation Guide sharing their knowledge and experience with us all! Thank you for having these gems on your channel! I had the pleasure of meeting Marc and Paulette while I was visiting San Luis Potosi a few months ago and they are the same wonderful people we have come to know and love through The Two Travelers in Mexico. Salud! 🍹

❤ thank you for sharing, I'm considering the move ❤

[GringosRUs]

Marc and Paulette are awesome. We got to spend some time with them when we stayed in SLP and can't wait to get back there and get in more trouble with them. 😅 They have a great YouTube channel too, full of helpful information. 🎉 Great interview!

[Wilfredos_]

Nice take! Thank you for doing the video/interview.

[WadingIntoRetirement]

We began following Marc and Paulette over two years ago on their Two Travellers in Mexico channel. They have such great content, and were nice enough to host us as we continued on our journey to find a home in Mexico. They showed us around SLP and are super nice people. I frequently reach out to them for guidance and their suggestions are always spot on. I can’t wait to visit them again! This episode was very informative, I was excited to see them on the Mexican Relocation Guide channel.

Hi guys, Our names are Steve and Pam and we moved to Mexico in 2022, to the Lake Chapala area. We had watched Marc and Paulettes videos and had some interactions with them online. Our first trip down we came through Nogales down the 15D, a year later we made a trip back north for the holidays and with Mazatlan being hot with cartel activity at the time we drove down from Eagle Pass, and stopped in and met Marc and Paulette in person. They are great people and so welcoming, making us breakfast and having a nice visit. Living in Mexico is a learning experience for sure, lucky for me I speak Spanish which is a big plus. We too moved outside of the Gringo land, and have more interaction with the Mexican people in the small town.

[pedrozatravel]

Cool I have been following Marc and Paulette for a long time. They are good people. Morelia and SLP are 5 hours driving, that is a long drive to pick up a forgotten item.😂

[daviddomecq]

Thank you Marc and Paulette for sharing important information about Mexico. I can see both of you are very happy.

[puertovallartajoe]

I really enjoy your videos!!! Paulette and Marc are our a couple of our favorite Youtubers. We have been watching them for years as my wife and I also moved to Mexico permanently. When Paulette and Marc came to Puerto Vallarta they made time to meet with us and we had a wonderful dinner and they came over to our house. Hola Two Travelers in Mexico!!!!

[karendenison]

We met Marc & Paulette after watching their informative & fun channel. While we were traveling in MX, they met us for brunch and we so enjoyed meeting them in person!

[monsediez]

I met Paulette & Marc in spring, with a group of exchange spanish/english. Is very nice to met people who likes mexican culture and enjoy to travel and share to us their point of view like a foreingners, to do a lot paper work (is the same being mexican), we start a friendship since then. I loved the mural behind you guys. I really appreciate our friendship, always learning something about each other and different cultures. Welcome to México 🇲🇽
